I feel like I'm haunting the help forums

 

Anyways, back story:

I was running CM12 for about 4 or 5 months. A few days ago, my phone just went blank. It would go blank directly after booting, whether attempting to do a normal boot or going to TWRP. So I had to flash back to 4.4.2. After finally getting my phone back up and running, I decided to put Lollipop back on my Razr. But now, every lollipop rom I attempt to install just bootloops after a "successful" install. I'm following all directions to a "T", and using the same install parameters I've used for years, including the last time I went from 4.4.2 to 5.0 on the same device using the same files. Any ideas?

 

EDIT: And I have been waiting 15+ minutes each time.

 

EDIT: EDIT: I guess I should've named this one "Lollipop ROMs won't run"...lol

So it's not just lollipop ROMs, it's all custom ROMs...

I was having problems just getting lollipop Roms to install with the boot looping and what not but installing CM11 then going to CM12 in an increment fashion so to speak fixed it.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried flashing CM11, built on 20140102, and the same issue was present. Which fxz did you flash from and what build did you flash to?

Once I got BL unlock, I started trying some Lollipop. Early builds worked good with a typical five minute first boot. At some. Point (builds around Christmas time), I started seeing the same problem. Screen on reboot - blank. Did the same thing booting into TWRP. The only thing that worked for me (requires an internal sd wipe - no fun). Changed file format to ext4. Performed "advanced" wipe, from then on (everything but internal and external sd). Since then, most new flashes take no longer than 5-6 minutes. Screen black out went away too! BTW - I've been trying Blisspop from day one, along with DHackers CM12

JBirdie saved the day! For one of the ROMs I tried to flash stated in the instructions to change data to ext4, and I did so. But for some reason when I went to check it still wasn't on ext4. So I changed that and formatted my internal storage, and voila! Everything flashed and installed perfectly and quickly. Made me a happy camper to see lollipop again thanks again!

I tried coming from that fxz and the -10.1 fxz (which worked for me the last time o flagged to lollipop), but thanks for your help!
